Photographic Alchemy for those who live in the margins.
Inclusive Wedding and Elopement Photographer in Portland & Hawaii
Because Your Story Isn’t Ordinary, and Neither Is the Way I’ll Tell It.
You won’t find me hanging your dress from a tree. I won’t spend two hours styling a flat lay just so it looks good on Pinterest. I work with couples who don’t care about wedding industry rules—they want to break them. Ditch the expectations, scrap the ‘shoulds,’ and build a day that actually feels like you.
Laugh your asses off on a windswept cliff. Pack a dive bar with your favorite people. Show up at city hall with nothing but love, a pen, and plans for cheeseburgers after. However you do this, it’s yours. And that’s what I care about.
Your wedding isn’t a performance. It’s not staged for engagement, designed for virality, or a piece of content. It’s real. It’s yours. And that’s exactly how I’ll document it
Elopements &
Micro Weddings
This is for couples who care more about the feeling than the spectacle. Who value connection over convention. Who reject the idea that a wedding has to look a certain way to matter.
Every wedding I photograph is built around you—your love, your energy, your way of doing things. Maybe it’s a candlelit dinner with ten of your closest people. Maybe it’s just the two of you, barefoot in the sand, reading vows only you’ll hear. Portland, Hawaii, wherever your story takes you—if it feels right, it is right. And I’m here to capture it.
For couples who see their wedding as an expression of art—intimate, intentional, and entirely their own.
The Only Wedding Investment That Grows More Valuable With Time.
Personalized Planning & Support – Elopements and intimate weddings don’t follow a template—and neither should your experience. From helping you find the perfect location to creating a timeline that feels unrushed and real, I’ll guide you in shaping a day that’s fully yours—not one built for a checklist.
Flexible Coverage For the Way You Celebrate – Whether it’s a quiet morning vow exchange, an all-day adventure, or a multi-day celebration, you’ll get exactly the coverage you need—nothing more, nothing less.
A Gallery That Tells Your Story – Every fully edited image is a piece of your history. Your gallery won’t just be something to look at—it’ll be something to feel. Delivered in a seamless online format, ready for downloading, printing, and sharing with the people who matter most.
More Than Just Digital Files – Your memories deserve to exist beyond a screen. I offer museum-quality framed art and bespoke albums—heirloom pieces that will live in your home, not just on your hard drive.
An Advocate for You, Not the Industry – I will always put you first. Your best interests guide every decision I make. I will never upsell you on something you don’t need, push trends that don’t align with your vision, or prioritize profit over people.
Transparent, Inclusive, and Honest Communication – No confusing fine print, no hidden fees, no industry gatekeeping. You’ll always know what to expect, and I will always respect your privacy, identity, and choices.
Your Stand-In Mom, Fiercest Ally, and Biggest Supporter – I show up as more than just your photographer. I’ll fix your dress, wipe away happy tears, make sure you eat, and hold space for every emotion. Whatever you need, I’m in your corner.
What You Get When You Work with Me:
I believe in working with couples who deeply connect with my art. If my pricing feels out of reach but my work speaks to you, let’s talk—I’d love to explore what’s possible.
Let’s Connect:
No generic PDF's, No One-Size-Fits-All Answers.
It all starts with a conversation—I want to hear from you beyond the surface level. Just you, your story, and a real human (me) who actually cares about what matters to you. Fill out the form, tell me what you’re dreaming up, and I’ll be in touch with next steps that make sense for you

“I feel like I have pictures my kids and grandkids will hang in their home which was my goal in finding a photographer. Nothing was staged, ideas for different shots felt comfortable, the whole experience felt like a casual but intimate documentary of us. We could not be more thankful.”
— Kevin & Maria
